Kyle Clark’s love and fascination for cars from a young age has led him to the detailing profession.

At the age of 14 Kyle received a professional buffer which opened his eyes to the detailing and cosmetic maintenance aspects of the automobile industry. He then honed and perfected his skills through high school and college auto courses.

Two short years later when 16, Kyle started detailing and maintaining the personal cars of city officials and police officers of the City of Fontana. The word quickly spread to their friends, family and businesses all over.

At the age of 17, Kyle accomplished his goal of becoming an Eagle Scout. An achievement which can only show that he is an honest and dedicated person

Kyle purchased a custom built trailer so that he could make his business mobile and better serve his clients. This 5 x 8 foot trailer contains a 200 gallon water tank full of de-ionized water, a commercial carpet extractor, EZ-Up speed shelter, European steamer, buffers and numerous bottles and gallons of professional detailing products.

Kyle has worked on almost every type of vehicle: cars, trucks, SUV’s, exotic cars, motorcycles, big rigs, boats, RV’s, trailers, show cars, etc.

Seeking to master his skills Kyle learned from the best detailing instructor in the country, Renny Doyle. Kyle enrolled in private one-on-one advanced training courses with Renny Doyle (detailer of Air Force One) from detailingsuccess.com. Here Kyle refined his skills while learning new techniques and products. Kyle earned his Advanced Auto Technician Certificate and is quickly on his way to becoming a Master Detailer.

Xtreme Detailing is also a member in good standing of the International Detailing Association (I.D.A.).Kyle’s love and passion for beautiful cars is represented in his hard work and dedication to make your car amazing.

FONTANA: Elite detailers to polish up iconic Concorde jet

Kyle Clark is leaving on a jet plane today so he can spend a week beautifying an even bigger jet plane.Clark, 29, of Fontana, is part of an elite team of detailers who are volunteering their time to spiff up a retired Concorde that has been sitting outside at Seattle’s Museum of Flight since it was donated in 2003.The retired supersonic jet once belonged to British Airways and had 16,200 hours of flight time when it made its final trip from New York City to Seattle – in a record 3 hours, 55 minutes and 12 seconds.But nine years outside in the Northwest weather has left the sleek jet worse for wear, said Clark, who owns Xtreme Detailing and has been putting the shine back on vehicles since he was 14.The Concorde is oxidized, Clark said.“It has some paint on it that is actually peeling,” he said while putting the final touches on a client’s brand new $140,000 Mercedes G wagon.The jet is a much bigger challenge.“Those areas that are peeling we can’t do anything about, but the public can’t really see them because they’re on top of the wings,” he said. “But we can polish up the underside.”The volunteers are called the Air Force One Detailing Team, because that is the plane they have focused on during previous trips to the Seattle museum. The team leader is master detailer Renny Doyle, who credits his start in the business to a teenage encounter with stunt pilot Art Scholl at Rialto Municipal Airport.On the Detailers of Air Force One webpage, Doyle, who grew up in Colton and was fascinated with planes, writes about pedaling his bicycle to the airport in 1979.“The man who gave a skinny, long-haired kid an opportunity turned out to be the famed Art Scholl,” Doyle wrote. “Art gave me the basics and a taste for aircraft and that has built a fire for not only aviation but nearly anything that is motor driven.”Scholl ran a flight school at the airport until he was killed in September 1985 when his plane crashed while performing a stunt over the Pacific Ocean for the movie “Top Gun.”Clark, too, has deep Inland roots. He grew up in Fontana, where his father was a police officer. Like his parents, he is a graduate of Fontana High School. He got his start as a detailer shining up police cars and the officers’ personal vehicles, he said.“I made good money as a teenager,” Clark said. “All my friends were earning minimum wage and I was doing better than that.”He loves the work and has taken classes to perfect his skills. He is a member of the International Detailers Association and has been skill-certified by the organization, he

FONTANA, CA August 27, 2013 — Si﻿x-fo﻿ot-four San Bernardino/Fontana detailer, Kyle Clark of Xtreme Detailing is not only one of the top 35 detailers in the country, but his height and long arms placed him on the MacGyver Problem-solving Team at the Seattle Museum of Flight where he detailed the original Air Force One aircraft. Clark was also part of the Prep Team that taped off the paint from the bright work, and a member of the Bright Work Team that working alongside several other veteran AFO detailers, cleaned the much-oxidized aluminum and other metals on the famous Boeing 707-120. “It was definitely hard work,” Clark admits. “The bright work is a lot harder to get clean than paint and some of it is in hard-to-reach places.” In two years, metals, when exposed to the weather and atmosphere, begin to oxidize and their surface gets cloudy. It is the same process that turns a sliced apple brown or a penny green. “We have to heft a 5-pound Flex orbital polisher at eye level, and in some places, overhead to get the right angles, which can sometimes be awkward and very tiring for the upper body.” Fortunately, Kyle has very long arms. “I was able to reach places in front of the wing and into difficult areas underneath where there are air conditioning units that anyone shorter than myself couldn’t reach.” The goal, according to Clark is to get that aluminum shining so clearly, you can see your own reflection in the surface. “That is the state we are working to achieve when we polish the bright work,” says Clark. “After a couple of passes and about three days, we turn it over to a Finishing Team, and the Prep Team begins removing the masking since we know where the tender spots are on the paint. Then I moved on to polish three other museum fighter planes: a Harrier, an F14 Tomcat, and an Italian Fiat.” The weeklong pro bono AFO project takes an eye for perfection and an attitude for precision, something Clark says he also offers his automotive, boat, motorcycle, and RV customers at Xtreme Detailing. “The museum visitors think we are museum workers. When we tell them we own or manage our own detailing businesses, they are amazed that we would be so meticulous,” Clark explains. “We are the same way with our customer’s vehicles. That is the kind of professionalism we bring our everyday clients as well.”

Fontana man is celebrity guest detailer at prestigious SEMA show in Las Vegas

Kyle Clark of Fontana’s Xtreme Detailing and nine other elite members of the Air Force One Detailing Team just returned from appearing as celebrity guest detailers at SEMA last week.

SEMA is the largest automotive specialty and aftermarket trade show in the world and welcomed nearly 200,000 attendees in Las Vegas Nov. 4-7.

Clark and a handful of team members, led by master detailing guru Renny Doyle of Attention to Details and the Detailing Success Network, were invited by SONAX Car Care and Flex North America, a maker of high-end automotive polishers and buffers, to hold demonstrations in their exhibits for a couple of hours every day.

Cameras flashed as the news media covered the event and car lovers and Do-it-Yourself automotive hobbyists and professionals took the opportunity to get their pictures taken with Clark.

“It was sort of surreal. SEMA is a huge show and we had large crowds mingling around our demonstrations watching us work,” said Clark, who has been chosen for the AFO team two years in a row.

“One of the things that was different about our presentation was how we let the audience participate in the demonstrations. At most trades hows, they have a detailer behind a Plexiglas window doing the demonstration. We showed people how to use the products and equipment, did a little talk about technique, and then let members of the audience take the buffer in their own hands and experience the process. That was very exciting for them and people stood in line to try it for themselves. We also sold a lot of Flex buffers and SONAX products.”

Clark has a mobile detailing business that services a 45-mile area around San Bernardino, Fontana, and Rancho Cucamonga.

He is more than just a detailer. He is also a paint correction specialist experienced at restoring the paint on classics, exotics, car collections, luxury sedans, and everyday drives.

“I was thrilled to be one of the top 10 AFO team members invited to appear, and I was stunned by the attention we received at such a highly recognized, well-attended, and popular automotive event," he said.
